NETBALLHer launches I Wish I Knew: In Conversation With… series in partnership with Wellbeing of Women

As NETBALLHer’s next step in addressing barriers for women and girls in sport, this new webinar series aims to answer the questions shared by you throughout the NETBALLHer I Wish I Knew Campaign. 

By combining trusted medical expertise from Wellbeing of Women (and other partners) with authentic lived experience from both elite and grassroots athletes, we’re giving netballers and the people around them the knowledge and confidence to understand their bodies, speak up without embarrassment, and stay in the game they love at every age and every stage.  

Join us for a webinar series shaped entirely by the real questions and stories from our netball community. Each session brings together trusted medical experts with elite athletes and grassroots players to give you honest answers, lived experience and practical support you can use straight away. 

The series consists of five webinars taking place throughout 2026, covering NETBALLHer’s key focus areas of pre/post-natal, puberty, menstrual health, menopause and puberty (for men supporting her).
